Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Chicken:

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs or breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked white rice (for serving)
  • Grilled pineapple slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until fully combined.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half the marinade over it, reserving the rest for basting later. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Preheat Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, discard used liquid.
  4. Grill Chicken: Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, basting with reserved marinade as it cooks. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest and Serve: Rest chicken for 3–5 minutes, then slice and serve over rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and grilled pineapple slices if desired.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider grilling some pineapple slices alongside the chicken.
  • Marinating the chicken overnight will result in more flavorful and tender meat.
